Performance of Sisal Fabre as Natural Geotextile to Reinforce Soil Layers on Unpaved Road. by Kyomugasho, Lilian

“…Finally, it was observed that placing sisal fibre after the second layer gives the highest CBR value and MDD values. Based on the results the expansive soil reinforced with sisal fibre at the second layer can be used in unpaved road layers since it gave an increase in CBR from 3.7% to 19.2% since it meets the requirement as per the Uganda ministry of works, Housing and communication, 2005 and the general specification for roads and Bridges. …”
